Stergiou Laboratory of Ichthyology, School of Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece ABSTRACT: Consumer preferences can be influenced by cultural factors, such as recipes. Thus, popular recipes using seafood ingredients could encourage demand for the featured marine spe- cies. We recorded the fish taxa appearing in all online Greek recipes and related the number of recipes in which a taxon is a suggested ingredient to the taxon’s landings and vulnerability to fish- ing. For marine fish, the number of recipes per taxon (henceforth called recipe prevalence) increased significantly with the taxon’s landings. When the effect of landings was removed, recipe prevalence increased significantly with vulnerability to fishing, indicating that more vulnerable taxa appear more frequently in recipes. This pattern should be reversed by eliminating the recipe abundance of taxa that are very vulnerable to fishing and counterbalance such a reduction with an increase in the representation of taxa of low vulnerability, landed in large quantities and cur- rently underrepresented in recipes. Managing recipe composition by educating a small group of stakeholders (i.e. chefs and recipe authors) may be a cost-effective way of promoting fisheries sustainability when compared to directly educating consumers.

In the vast majority of cases, no information was provided regarding the date of recipes or whether recipes posted on the web were actually taken from other sources (e.g. from a published recipe book). All fish common names were assigned to the lowest possible taxon. European hake Merluccius merluccius and Gadus morhua have the same Greek common name (‘bakaliaros’). The former is only sold fresh, while the latter is sold as salted fillets or frozen. Thus, ingredients referring to fresh ‘bakaliaros’ were assigned to M. merluc- cius and the remaining ones to G. morhua.

Here, we describe patterns in functional beta diversity for New Zealand marine fishes versus depth and latitude, including broad-scale delineation of functional bioregions. We derived eight functional traits related to food acquisition and locomotion and calculated complementary indices of functional beta diver- sity for 144 species of marine ray-finned fishes occurring along large-scale depth (50–1200 m) and latitudinal gradients (29°–51°S) in the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone. We focused on a suite of morphological traits calculated directly from in situ Baited Remote Underwater Stereo-Video (stereo-BRUV) footage and museum specimens. We found that functional changes were primarily structured by depth followed by latitude, and that latitudinal functional turnover decreased with increasing depth. Functional turnover among cells increased with increasing depth distance, but this relationship plateaued for greater depth distances (>750 m).

  • Inferred from Mitochondrial 16S Rdna Sequence and Morphological Data
    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 17(1): 14-31 (2011) The systematic status of the Mediterranean Spicara species (Centracanthidae) inferred from mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequence and morphological data Cemal Turan* Fisheries Genetics Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries, Mustafa Kemal University, Iskenderun, Hatay, Turkey. * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The mitochondrial 16S ribosomal DNA together with morphological data were used to elucidate monophyly of the family Centracanthidae and interrelationships of Spicara and Centracanthus genera, including four species, Spicara maena, Spicara flexuosa, Spicara smaris and Centracanthus cirrus. Examination of the gene revealed a moderate amount of thymine and abundance of adenine. The 16S rDNA dataset contained 92 variable and 69 parsimony informative sites with a mean nucleotide diversity of 0.099. Haplotype diversity was found to be 0.71. No genetic differences were observed between S. maena and S. smaris, and the genetic divergence between S. flexuosa and both S. maena and S. smaris was found to be 0.005. The intergeneric divergence was found to be very high (0.237) between S. alta and C. cirrus. For the other Spicara species, intergeneric divergence ranged from 0.170 between C. cirrus and both S. maena and S. smaris to 0.176 between C. cirrus and S. flexuosa. Minumum evolution, neighbor joining and parsimony trees revealed same tree topologies, and the monophyly of the genus Spicara was not supported. S. maena and S. smaris clustered together and showed close relationship and S. flexuosa was nodded with this group. Therefore S. maena was found to be more closely related to S. smaris rather than S.

The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

It is a hyperparasite that attaches itself to the dorsal face of isopods, themselves parasites in the buccal cavity of fishes. In this study, Cy. bellones was found on Ceratothoa parallela (Otto, 1828), a cymothoid isopod parasite of the sparid fish Boops boops off Algeria in the Mediterranean Sea. We provide, for the first time, molecular barcoding information of a hyperparasitic monogenean, the parasitic crustacean host, and the fish host, with COI sequences.

  • Diet of a Mediterranean Monk Seal Monachus Monachus in a Transitional Post-Weaning Phase and Its Implications for the Conservation of the Species
    Vol. 39: 315–320, 2019 ENDANGERED SPECIES RESEARCH Published August 22 https://doi.org/10.3354/esr00971 Endang Species Res OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS NOTE Diet of a Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus in a transitional post-weaning phase and its implications for the conservation of the species Cem Orkun Kıraç1,*, Meltem Ok2 1Underwater Research Society - Mediterranean Seal Research Group (SAD-AFAG), 06570 Ankara, Turkey 2Middle East Technical University - Institute of Marine Science (METU-IMS), Erdemli, 33731 Mersin, Turkey ABSTRACT: The Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus is the most endangered pin- niped in the world and is considered Endangered by the IUCN. Transition from suckling to active feeding is a critical time in the development of all mammal species, and understanding the dietary requirements of seals during this vulnerable period is of value in establishing conservation meas- ures, such as fishery regulations. This study provides unique information on the dietary habits of a moulted monk seal pup, through the opportunistic necropsy of a dead animal encountered at a very early age (5 mo). A total of 6 prey items from 2 families (Octopodidae, 90.8% and Congridae, 8.9%) were identified from stomach contents. The remaining stomach content mass consisted of fish bones from unidentified species (0.3%). The estimated age, low diversity and number of prey items in the stomach contents indicate that this individual may have been in a transition period from suckling to active feeding. The study confirms independent foraging in Mediterranean monk seals at about 5 mo of age. Given the importance of early life survival for maintaining stable Medi- terranean monk seal populations, and the occurrence of an ontogenetic shift in its close relative (Hawaiian monk seal), these findings contribute to the establishment and implementation of suc- cessful conservation and management strategies for this Endangered species.
